Torque Specs on Intake Manifold?
I need to order a shop manual for my car but in the mean time does anyone know the torque specs on the intake manifold. I am installing a Crawford Upper Manifold on Thursday. Does anyone know where I can get a shop manual? Are there different types or is the dealership a good place to look? I know sometimes dealers don't sell them but everyone says that's the first thing one should buy before doing any major projects. Thanks for any help and yes I did search for these specs before asking, I promise! Thanks!

100 ft-lbs?? NFW. Lug nuts only get 75 ft-lbs. That would strip the bolts rights out of the soft aluminum plenum. It's more like 110-120 in-lbs.
You can get the correct FSM for your model year from the Nissan website:
http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/nissan/
Sign up for a one day access ($20) then download the manual(s), they are in PDF format.
[Edit: Oops, wrong pic. Here's the correct one that shows all the plenum bolts. Torque is 9-10 ft-lbs or 108-120 in-lbs.]

It's 100 inch lbs for the parameter bolts & 60 inch lbs for the 6 inner bolts..
Follow the tightening sequence listed above.

Basically about as tight as you can get it with one hand at the top of the socket wrench (no lever arm torque)... I doubt it will leak - if it does you can try to tighten it further, but hand tight I found works just fine and for me equates to about 60-70 in-lbs of torque
